Bellenblazende jongen 1758

"Bellenblazende jongen" (The Boy Blowing Bubbles) is an etching by Jean Daullé, a French artist known for his delicate and charming depictions of children. Created in 1758, this print showcases Daullé's mastery of capturing the innocent joy of childhood. The young boy sits attentively, blowing a stream of bubbles that float in the air, creating a sense of wonder and lightheartedness. Daullé's use of fine lines and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and realism, making the boy and his playful activity appear almost tangible. The work is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a testament to Daullé's enduring legacy as a prominent figure in 18th-century art.
